You need to insert a movie clip & then draw your on/off button inside of it. Once draw press insert, then convert to symbol & choose button. Add this script to the button:
on (press) {
if (\_root.condition == true) {
stopAllSounds ();
\_root.condition = false
}else{
gotoAndPlay or loadMovieNum //location where your sound is
\_root.condition = true
}
}
That should it it for you. O 1 other thing please initialize the variable by adding this action:
\_root.condition = true
